Over on the Digital Songs chart,
Katy Perry rules at No. 1 for a third week with "Roar," selling 448,000 downloads. The song gained 14% in weekly sales, thanks in part to Perry's performance of the cut on the Aug. 25 VMAs. "Roar" debuted at No. 1 with 557,000, then slipped to 392,000 in its second week.
At No. 2 on Digital Songs this week is a new entry from Eminem, whose "Berzerk" blasts in with 362,000 downloads. "Berzerk" is the first single from "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," due Nov. 5.
Sales for "Berzerk" are comparable to the first-week performance of his last album's first single, "Not Afraid." That 2010 song, which led "Recovery," bowed at No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart with 379,000.
Thicke's "Blurred Lines," featuring T.I. and Pharrell, falls 2-3 this week with 244,000 (down 3%). Lady Gaga's "Applause," meanwhile, rises 5-4 with 213,000 (up 31%). "Blurred Lines" and "Applause" were both performed on the VMAs. (A decline for "Blurred" this week isn’t surprising, as the song had already peaked in sales weeks ago. This is its fourth consecutive weekly dip in sales.)
Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus — who sang "Blurred Lines" on the VMAs with Thicke after performing her hit "We Can't Stop" —
jumps 13-5 with her new track, "Wrecking Ball." It moved 201,000 downloads in its first full week on sale (up 124%), after bowing last week with 90,000 after less than two full days of availability. (It went on sale on Saturday, Aug. 24.)
Avicii's "Wake Me Up!" is pushed back 3-6, despite a 1% gain this week. It sold 176,000, up from 175,000 a week ago.
Jay Z's "Holy Grail," featuring Timberlake, falls 4-7 with 170,000 (down less than 1%). Lorde's "Royals," like "Wake Me Up!," is also forced down the chart, slipping 6-8 with 167,000, though it gains by 16%.
Cyrus also has another song in the top 10:
"We Can't Stop" descends 7-9 with 157,000 (though it's up by 10%). It was part of a three-song medley that Cyrus performed on the VMAs with Thicke, 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar.
Drake's "Hold On, We're Going Home" (featuring Majid Jordan), another cut performed on the VMAs,
returns to the top 10 after a two-week absence, climbing 12-10. The song moved 141,000 downloads — up 57%.
Digital track sales this past week totaled 22.6 million downloads, up 2% compared with last week (22.1 million) and down less than 1% stacked next to the comparable week of 2012 (22.6 million). Year-to-date track sales are at 888 million, down 3% compared with the same total at this point last year (916.3 million).
